Messi and Suarez are 'too amazing'.

According to AS (Spain): "FIFA has faced many difficulties in finding sponsors and selling television rights for the 2025 Club World Cup, with the tournament only about eight months away. Choosing Inter Miami, with star player Messi and his close friend Suarez still playing at the highest level and shining brightly, could help the world football governing body solve the problem it is facing."

FIFA congratulates and announces Inter Miami's participation in the 2025 Club World Cup.

Choosing Inter Miami is only partially convincing, as the team has just won the Supporters' Shield (the MLS points-scoring tournament). Winning the MLS Cup in the upcoming playoffs from October 22nd to December 7th is the decisive factor, following previous reports that FIFA has reserved a spot for the home team through this championship.

FIFA announced the new format of the 2025 Club World Cup, which will be held in the United States, featuring 32 of the world's top clubs competing from June 15 to July 13, 2025. The tournament will also serve as a test of the US's capacity to host the 2026 World Cup alongside co-hosts Mexico and Canada.

However, after Inter Miami secured the Supporters' Shield title two rounds early, FIFA decided to select the team chaired and co-owned by David Beckham as the 31st team to participate in the tournament as the host nation.

The 2025 Club World Cup only needs one more spot from the 2024 Copa Libertadores champion (South America) to complete its 32-member qualifying round. Prior to this, top European clubs such as Manchester City, Real Madrid, PSG, Bayern Munich, Juventus, and Chelsea have all secured their places. In Asia, there's Neymar's Al Hilal, while South America boasts renowned clubs like Palmeiras (Brazil), River Plate, and Boca Juniors (both from Argentina).

Inter Miami secured the Supporters' Shield title two rounds early.

Unfortunately, Ronaldo's Al Nassr club is absent due to their unsuccessful performance in the AFC Champions League last season. Meanwhile, Messi, Suarez, Busquets, and Jordi Alba now have the opportunity to compete again against top European football teams, even though they have been playing in the US for over a year now, spending the final years of their careers.

FIFA also announced that Inter Miami, as the host team at the 2025 Club World Cup, will play the opening match on June 15, 2025, at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, which has a capacity of up to 65,326 seats.

"On June 15, 2025, the whole world will be watching Hard Rock Stadium, witnessing Messi and his teammates bring the fairytale story of Inter Miami to the world!", FIFA announced.

Messi...

And Suarez had a brilliant season in MLS, scoring a total of 20 goals.

The presence of Messi and his teammates at Inter Miami will undoubtedly help to generate global interest in the 2025 Club World Cup, according to AS .

Meanwhile, for Messi and Suarez, participating in the 2025 Club World Cup with Inter Miami would be another milestone in their careers. The 37-year-old duo had an incredibly prolific season in MLS, each scoring 20 goals.

Both players also added 10 and 7 assists respectively in the 2024 Major League Soccer season. They also helped Inter Miami become the first club to have two players score at least 20 goals in a single MLS season. Messi was also the first player in MLS history to score a hat-trick and provide an assist after coming on as a substitute in the second half.

Messi is currently the top scorer for FC Barcelona (672 goals), the top scorer for the Argentina national team (112 goals), and the top scorer for Inter Miami with 33 goals, surpassing the record of striker Leonardo Campana (32 goals).
